#66 & 67 I don't remember Interview with a Vampire as being fluffy. I recall it as a plod, but I did read it some years ago, when the equally tedious (to me) film came out.

The first Anne Rice novel, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, is a good read and quite well-written, certainly far better than anything else she did. A bit baroque in places (for my minimalist tastes) but a page-turner. After that, she descended into hackery and I couldn't be bothered. And now, of ...

Anne Rice's INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE; Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND and HELL HOUSE; Stephen King's 'SALEM'S LOT. Someone on the "Unreliable narrator" thread reminded me of Shirley Jackson's WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE. Creeepy. Best Young Adult book I've read in a decade (and I ...

25. Interview with the vampire by Anne Rice Ok so back to the vampire theme. I read this year's ago and thought it was time to revisit, seeing as along with Bram Stocker's Dracula, which I revisted at the end of last year, it is one of the iconic "Vampire" novels, to which all others ...

The next book on my tbr is The Night Watch which I've heard good things about. I'll get back to you once I've read it. Interview with a Vampire is good, although I never read any of the other Anne Rice books.

... in the gap 1960 - 2000. No copy of The Exorcist in the library, but they do have Rosemary's Baby. I also haven't read Interview with the Vampire since I was a teenager, so that's a possibility.

*GAVE UP ON IN JUNE* Interview with the Vampire (by Anne Rice) was not by any means shaping up to be the worst book I’d ever read: I didn’t mind pulling it out on the bus if that was all I had, but it was not a book that I was eager to get back to in general. However, being a bit bogged ...

Well, Lord of the Dead is only half-bad, I guess. It started off good--kind of like Interview With the Vampire with the narration to a captive audience member--but it grew tiresome--travel Europe, kill vampire "father", travel Europe some more, repeat. I guess it's part of a series, but I'm no ...

Thanks for chiming in! I read and loved Interview with the Vampire years ago; I had a copy of Vampire Lestat but I lent it to a friend and never got it back. Might add it to the TBR (or TBF - to be found). ;)

... I had nothing else to do. Each word was like chewing on some disgusting food I was forced to eat and swallowing it. Interview with the Vampire Ender's Game I don't get why everybody likes this. I was 15 when I read it, so it's not as if I was too young or old. I loved Orson Scott Card' ...

Book 8: Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice. 4* Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force--a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the ...

I will be reading Interview with a Vampire later this year as a part of the challenge. It's been decades and I have read a lot of the later vampire fiction since. I wonder what I will think of it, especially knowing how the series deteriorated over time. But there it sits on the 1001 list. T ...

I've read pretty much all of them. Interview with a Vampire was by far the best. The rest, meh... ETA: I did enjoy Tale of the Body Thief, though.

#129: I struggled to finish Interview with the vampire too!!! It's just that I consider Anne Rice as a great author but her books move a little too slow for my taste. Let me know what you think of it when you finish it. P.S. GO ELLEVEE!!! U can do it.

Interview With The Vampire - to see if I still dislike it, and because I don't remember most of it. An Anthropologist On Mars - because Oliver Sacks rocks. Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets - a reread, for no good reason

Flossie, Thanks for the honesty. I had to stifle the giggles!!! In any case, a different view. I wish I had stopped with Interview with a Vampire because I didn't enjoy the next installments. I just felt like she was sort of rehashing the same groudn without really going any deeper.

I read and reread Interview with the Vampire and I didn't think it was overly long or pretentious or boring. In fact, I think it is her best in that series. I thought The Witching Hour was her best of the Mayfair Witches series. And I also enjoyed her first novel about the life of Christ. ...

Interview With the Vampire is my favorite and I can tolerate portions of Queen of the Damned. Following that, I would say Servant of the Bones or The Mummy.

Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Bram Stoker's Dracula spring to mind, probably because they're books I've read.

BTW, my favorite Rice horror novels are Interview with the Vampire, The Witching Hour, and The Mummy.

I think Interview with the Vampire is really good, it was written well before the others.

Well, I'd argue that most horror overlaps heavily with sci-fi or fantasy. Furthermore, Interview with the Vampire is pretty light on the horror (unlike, say, Dracula) because Rice romanticizes and sexualizes the vampires so much. So I would include horror, so long as it has strong sci-fi or ...

... and Fledgling by Octavia Butler. The first books in Anne Rice's vampire series are pretty good, too. From Interview With the Vampire to about Tale of the Body Thief are well worth reading. Two titles that are on my reading list, but I haven't gotten to yet, are Bloodsucking ...

I'm currently reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. So far I have read: Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of The Body Thief and Blood and Gold. I intend to purchase Memnoch the Devil when I get my next paycheque. My favourate so far ...

All the King's Men, definitely. Feast of All Saints, another excellent choice. Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat, if you have a "taste" for the vampire lore. If you want more modern fiction, and more of rural Louisiana than New Orleans, try James Lee Burke's detective ...

... never have gone back to on my own. The Rice family has produced one book I loved among the welter of Riceiana available: Interview with the Vampire. Stan's poetry does zip for me. Anne's post-Interview books fail to appeal much, though I thought Cry to Heaven was good enough to ...

... Vampire series. It's very chilling, and I couldn't seem to put them down when I first read them. And who could forget Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice? It's an amazing Vampire story by a brilliant author. The other ones are quite good, too, but this one was by far my favourite. Lestat ...

... of disbelief, but overall I thought it was a decent book. I mainly read it because a friend recommended it to me as Interview With the Vampire for intellectuals, though I wouldn't draw that parallel myself.

The series lost me when we got to The Vampire Elmo...

Also, Interview with a Vampire is an excellent New Orleans book. I love/hate Anne Rice, but I have to admit that she really nailed the feel/smell/way of New Orleans in that one. For other Louisiana stuff, Charlaine Harris's Dead series is really pretty good and rather funny. Granted, both of ...

... thought the same thing about Anne Rice! But I didn't think I'd even read enough to be justified in saying it. I thought Interview with the Vampire was very well done, and I really enjoyed The Vampire Lestat even though the characters had suddenly changed drastically, but I couldn't stand Q ...

... ... and where's The Stand? I know some people might not consider it exactly scifi, but it's certainly a lot closer than Interview with a vampire.

... I'd have to go with Misery, Hellraiser (Barker's The Hellbound Heart), Psycho (the incomparable Robert Bloch), Interview with the Vampire and The Silence of the Lambs. Each and every one of those movies captured the books and stories they sought to represent, and did it well. N ...

... me out of the water. Some are books I expected to hate but ended up loving, while others are just damne good reads: Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice White Oleander by Janet Fitch Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald Hollywood Wives by Jackie Collins (y ...

... Frankenstein manages to pull a 4th place spot. Anne Rice is the only other author to sneak in the top ten with Interview coming in at 5th place and the sequel Lestat grabbing number 11. Then King dominates the list again all the way through the 26th book. I’d like to think ...

... the cast of hunters, etc. It is the one I have multiple versions of, including a hardback annotated. Hard to split from Interview with the Vampire - I can remember reading that one as an 8 year old, having scored it as a cheap 50c paperback from Woolworths, and very late at night, it was so ...
